Security Council Distr.: General 27 September 2013
United Nations S/2013/577 Security Council Distr.: General 27 September 2013 Original: English Report of the Secretary-General on the situation in Abyei I. Introduction 1. The present report is submitted pursuant to paragraph 21 of Security Council resolution 2104 (2013), in which the Council requested that I continue to inform it of progress in implementing the mandate of the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA), and to bring to its attention any serious violation of the 20 June 2011 Agreement between the Government of Sudan and the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement on temporary arrangements for the administration and security of the Abyei Area (S/2011/384, annex). 2. The report provides an update on the situation in Abyei as well as on the deployment and operations of UNISFA since my previous report of 29 July 2013 (S/2013/450). In addition, it provides an update on progress made in the implementation of the additional tasks mandated to the Force under Security Council resolutions 2024 (2011) and 2104 (2013) with respect to the Joint Border Verification and Monitoring Mechanism. II. Security situation 3. During the period under review, the security situation in the Abyei Area was generally calm, but remained highly unpredictable. The lack of concrete progress in the establishment of the Abyei Area joint institutions has created a dangerous political and administrative vacuum and tensions have concurrently been rising between the Ngok Dinka and Misseriya communities over the holding of a referendum in October 2013, as proposed by the African Union High-level Implementation Panel on 21 September 2012. -
